Research In Motion was involved in a patent dispute with NTP, Inc., which could have potentially forced RIM to suspend service to most BlackBerry users in the United States. The dispute was settled out-of-court in March 2006. See NTP, Inc.

A Blackberry is similar to a cellphone, though more like a PDA. It has a small screen on the top with a QWERTY keyboard below. It is used to make calls, store dates, information, etc. You can buy one at your local cellphone store.
